Of course, you are right that Austrian Sign Language would have to start with the O-Umlaut! Thanks for this information, Susanne. Someone just wrote to me and suggested that we refer to a listing on the web - apparently there is an agreed list of names for sign languages that can be found on the sign linguistics archives? Does anyone know that web address?
